You Need to Read: Baby Dracula

Alright Baby Dracula, we know that you are going to grow up to be hauntingly charming and will potentially terrorize the world with the mere thought of you…but right now you are a baby. And like most youngsters you may want to read some great picture books. Here are some that I am recommending just for you: 


By Lucy Ruth Cummings 
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

I know you are a vampire baby…and most babies like to go to the zoo. Here is a book about a vampire family that visits the zoo and all the crazy mischief that happens on that particular trip. 

By Christopher Denise 
Little, Brown and Company, 2022. Picture Book.

Toddler Dracula, I know that you prefer doing things at night. And Knight Owl is no different! He wants to be a knight and protect the kingdom at night. Now, maybe you aren’t so into protecting kingdoms…but you can always learn to like it, right? 

By Scott Rothman 
Illustrated by Pete Oswald 
Random House Children’s Books, 2020. Picture Book.

Baby Drac, you are strong. You have great strength and can often get what you want. Well, here is another story for you. The Underwear Dragon is also quite strong and he often gets what he wants; however, in this story you will learn that maybe, just maybe, being smart and kind is even more important than being strong. 

By Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey 
Norton Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

Here is the thing, one day Baby Dracula, you might want to leave your Transylvanian home. And when that time comes, chances are you might want to travel by boat. So here is a great story about a boat and how that boat changes lives over time. Pay attention. Maybe you will realize not only that boats are a great way to travel, but that your actions can impact all those around you. 

By David LaRochelle 
Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka 
Candlewick Press, 2021. Informational.

Finally, Baby Dracula, this is my last book suggestion for you. It is all about learning how to apologize. Because, basically, I have a feeling that sometime you might do something that isn’t right or good…and if you don’t do something nice, you should apologize. So here is a book to help you understand how feelings are important and how you need to respect the feelings of others—and apologize if you do something wrong. 

Well, that’s it. Those are the books that I think you should read. I hope you enjoy them Baby Dracula!

Review: Faker

By
Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam. Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into. The only problem is that Trey is starting to grow tired of moving around and never putting down roots, especially after forming a fast friendship with Logan and developing a crush on Kaylee, a socially conscious girl in his class. As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...

She reaches a place with a plethora of delicious options, and tries bitter, sweet, sour, and foods with umami (just like her name!) among others. Umami decides to bring all these delicious new flavors back for the other penguins to try in a feast. But, will the other penguins enjoy this new experience?  Filled with charm and humor, Umami is a diverse romp through a universal experience --am I willing to try something new? What will it be like?

Five Faves: Easy Readers of 2024

By
Hello world! I know you have been anticipating the release of this list all year... my favorite easy readers! Whether they're funny or sweet, these titles are all great for kids taking their first steps for reading. So without further ado...here are my five favorite easy readers of 2024. Lone Wolf Goes to School Written by Kiah Thomas Illustrated by K-Fai Steele New York: Neal Porter Books/Holiday House, 2024. Easy Reader.  Lone wolf would spend all of his time alone if he could. Unfortunately, he has to go to school with the "snotty" kids, and even when he leaves school there's people at the beach, on the mountains, and at the movie theater. What's a wolf to do? Invite them all to a party at his house and then leave so that all the places he wants to be are empty, of course! If you're looking for a moralistic read-aloud that will teach the virtues of making friends so that you aren't lonely, you should definitely look elsewhere. However, if you're loo...
